Papain/Fruit Enzymes

Papayas contain an enzyme called papain, which is found in abundance in the peel, leaves and orange meat of the fruit.

Papaya enzymes are excellent natural exfoliators. They are able to break down proteins (proteolysis), which results in a softening effect, a shedding of dead skin cells and finer pores.

Exfoliation with papaya enzymes can get rid of dead skin cells for fresher skin, a rosier complexion and a reduction in wrinkle depth.
